Episode 105
“Our Evergreat will be the team switching songs in the next competition…. We’ve selected Daylight. Is that possible?”
As those words rang across the filming set, all the idols started murmuring at once.
“Should we have said it first?”
“Hmm, no. Seems fine though…….”
Beside Yeo Eun-jae, who was laughing with an embarrassed expression, Han Jeong-yeon was thinking.
Seo Ji-on really does know something. She understands the appeal of broadcasting perfectly!
“Anyway, we were going to pick Evergreat too.”
If they were going to push the rivalry, that in itself secured broadcast time and entertainment value. Han Jeong-yeon’s intuition, gleaned from the V-Net pre-interview atmosphere, had been correct—Seo Ji-on would likely persuade them to nominate Daylight.
Of course, Han Jeong-yeon of Daylight hadn’t nominated Evergreat purely to chase the most entertaining broadcast angle.
– Does anyone want to share an opinion? Is there a team that wants to switch songs?
– If the older members are okay with it, what do you think about swapping with Evergreat? How does that sound?
– Oh, that sounds good. I like Evergreat’s songs!
– They don’t have a huge discography, but each song has solid quality, so I like them. And I’m interested in trying something new…….
It was actually Shin Joo-eun, the maknae who approached others intuitively rather than carefully calculating everything, who first nominated Evergreat, and it was Saki and Eom Yu-bin who actively supported it.
Han Jeong-yeon simply stood beside them, watching the scene unfold with a subtle smile.
Our members really do have their reasons for surviving the individual survival competition.
They survived by either naturally catching broadcast moments or having good instincts, without needing to overthink things.
“Eun-jae, is it okay if I speak?”
“Hm? Sure.”
When Han Jeong-yeon asked with sparkling eyes if she could make a comment as the team representative, Yeo Eun-jae handed over the microphone without hesitation.
Yeah, if she was being honest, Han Jeong-yeon was enjoying this moment.
The fact that her unpredictable business friend was thinking similarly, and the fact that she could perform in a competition by switching songs with a high-quality group—both thrilled her.
“First, let’s hear Daylight’s nomination. Daylight, please speak.”
At MC Ji Cheong-yeon’s words, Han Jeong-yeon picked up the microphone with a bright smile.
“This is really quite a coincidence. We at Daylight also want Evergreat as our opponent.”
She was already curious about how today’s footage would air.

Even as filming began, the major contours of life remained unchanged.
What I mean is…….
“…if you don’t study at all.”
“Then wouldn’t you risk getting an F and having to retake the class?”
“Aaaaaaagh…….”
Mid-April, and cherry blossoms bloomed.
The flower language of cherry blossoms is midterms…… The university midterm period was approaching, and for both Kang Su-ah and me, the time had come when we couldn’t afford to bomb the exams if we wanted to graduate.
For the Crown filming this, song selection that, articles about this…….
Even with all the chaos of being an idol, I still had to take exams to graduate. It was definitely better not to do too badly.
“The Every fans really seem to like our vlogs.”
“Yeah, the response was good…….”
“Makes you feel like your school is worth attending, doesn’t it?”
“I don’t know, I hate Seo Ji-on…….”
The college life vlogs that Kang Su-ah and I started uploading in mid-March had gotten quite a hot response on YouTube.
For one thing, being an active university student idol was rare enough, and the fact that we dragged ourselves out of bed while grumbling “but I still have to go to school” seemed to capture the reality of college students, so the response came quietly but steadily—both from fans and broader audiences.
For us, the fact that fans liked it was great, but the fact that non-fans appreciated it too was even better.
【Nationwide College Student Empathy Project, School Really Sucks.│Seo-Ji Log #01】
[Ji-on: I should’ve just taken more leave of absence.]
[Su-ah: No matter how I think about it, leaving was the right call…….]
[Su-ah: Let’s just take a leave of absence even now. It’s not too late.]
[Ji-on: What are you saying? We have to go this semester at least…?]
On the first day we went back to school, half-delirious from the fatigue of returning, Kang Su-ah and I ended up getting unexpectedly popular.
【Professor, Can You Wrap Up? I Have to Go to Music Broadcast (I’m a Singer)│Seo-Ji Log #02】
[Su-ah: I think something bad happened to me.]
[Su-ah: In a bit, my manager’s going to text me to meet at the main gate, but the professor won’t end class…….]
[Su-ah: Wow, what am I supposed to do…….]
[Su-ah: Like, really……, should I just leave? But if I get caught and they call it class cutting, that would be so unfair…… The class was supposed to end 10 minutes ago.]
[Kang Su-ah is serious.]
After our comeback, the vlog from the week we had pre-recorded and then gone back to school went live, and it got a pretty huge reaction from both fans and the general public.
[Ji-on: What do you all do after pre-recording ends?]
[Ji-on: I go to school right after filming wraps.]
[Ji-on: But the thing is, I didn’t do my assignment properly. Didn’t…? Couldn’t……? Anyway…….]
[The Every fans burst out with sympathetic sighs……]
One of the clips was from me joking around with the Every fans on a music broadcast, and apparently it spread on SNS as a joke about how it wasn’t any different from what fans experienced in their daily lives.
I saw the video clip circulating on subscriber accounts when I checked Twitter yesterday.
“Should we just turn on Univers Live and study? Study with Evergreat.”
“…you’re doing this so I can’t slack off, aren’t you?”
“Wow, you caught me.”
“I really hate Seo Ji-on…….”
“But we got content out of it, right? Should we do the live or not?”
“……If we don’t turn it on, I don’t think I’ll study.”
“Let’s do it.”
And so, we spent the spring evening with cherry blossoms in bloom studying with student Every fans in the company building.
Grateful that we’d finished the tedious lectures early, and resolved to pick our courses more carefully next time…….

While Seo Ji-on and Kang Su-ah navigated their grueling exam period, steadily planted seeds and began preparing for broadcast.
[[Official] Noksya’s Ji Cheong-yeon Returns… V-Net Girl Group Survival Exclusive MC: Ji Cheong-yeon]
[‘Not a Break?’ Actress Ji Cheong-yeon From Noksya, Appointed as MC]
[Glamorous Comeback of Third-Generation Girl Group Icon… Ji Cheong-yeon Steps Forward in ‘Next-Generation Girl Group War’]
First, through a press release, the public was informed that Ji Cheong-yeon would participate as the host of .
The public’s reaction was explosive. After Noksya’s disbandment, Ji Cheong-yeon had appeared in a few film and television projects before taking a break—so the sudden news that she was hosting a girl group survival show was, naturally, shocking.
==========
[wait is that really ji cheong-yeon? how did they even get her]
[she hasnt been tied to idol stuff in forever]
[but does anyone actually know why she took a break]
…
[wasnt there some discord rumors about noksya]
[noksya members just didnt have the will to keep the group going tbh]
[thats why noksyas legacy is so weird]
==========
Of course, like the internet always does, the conversation flowed quickly from positive to negative…….
[but fr she really hasnt done idol stuff in forever]
From a buzz perspective, the provocative strategy succeeded in imprinting the existence of the survival show on the public mind.
After that, they released pre-recorded footage bit by bit to keep the hype going.
The cast of For the Crown wasn’t unknown or unpopular. There simply wasn’t an absolute top tier, but the lineup was quite flashy overall.
Ashcode, which became a hot topic in various ways last year over the Rookie Award, and Evergreat, which ended up sweeping all those awards, both appeared; and Daylight, which had become even more popular now than during the survival competition, also participated.
Added to that were Rain Kids, who had a solid hit song and a loyal fandom; Liliiel, whose catalog included several songs people would recognize in passing; Pale Heart, who had an overseas fanbase large enough to tour internationally; and Bellier, who were the most ambiguous of the bunch but had been actively promoting recently.
Every time each group’s pre-interview was released, interest grew.
【[Early Release] Daylight and Evergreat’s Sparkling (?) Cheerful Trash Talk (feat. Cancan) #For_the_CROWN EP.00】
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: A rival…….]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: A team we have to watch out for.]
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: I’ll pick Evergreat.]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: If I pick just one team, it’d be Daylight.]
The day that drew the most attention was when the trash-talk portion of the pre-interviews dropped.
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: It’s not because we’re close.]
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: Absolutely not something I’m picking based on personal connections.]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: I mean, Jeong-yeon does seem like an easy target.]
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: Ah, but Seo Ji-on…… I do wonder if she can really do well in a survival show.]
Edited rhythmically to the soft cancan playing in the background, the interview between Han Jeong-yeon and Seo Ji-on didn’t offend either fandom while still playfully pointing out personal flaws, making people laugh.
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: Seo Ji-on’s good at everything, but she has no flexibility.]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: I wouldn’t say I want to record with her. It’s not that she’s bad or anything, but…….]
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: She’s really stubborn. Like, she’s just not adaptable.]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: She’s way too headstrong, and she barely ever budges. She should actually listen when people give her advice.]
[Q. If each of you had to make a declaration of war to the other, what would you say?]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: Um.]
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: Ummm…….]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: Would she even listen if I said something? She’s really good at ignoring messages.]
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: I don’t think she’d listen. Seo Ji-on doesn’t really use the internet much. She barely watches YouTube…….]
[Q. But if you absolutely had to say something…….]
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: My friend Seo Ji-on.]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: Han Jeong-yeon.]
[Daylight’s Han Jeong-yeon: The championship’s going to be ours, Daylight’s.]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: Wake up.]
[May 19th, first broadcast!]
[Post-credit scene]
[What does ‘wake up’ mean?]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: When Jeong-yeon asks questions like this, I figured she’d say something like ‘the championship’s ours’ so……?]
[Evergreat’s Seo Ji-on: I tried to make it less predictable. Ha ha.]
To borrow Han Jeong-yeon’s gaming terminology, it was a “totally rigged matchup….” situation! But—
It was a great teaser video for keeping interest alive until ‘s first broadcast!
